[fedora] Fedora 20 Different Desktops.

[JLambert97]

Can someone please clarify to me what the different Fedora desktops are used for and/or why they are good.

 

Thanks

You should still be able to edit the title if you want to. Click 'Edit Post' and then click 'Go Advanced' You should then be able to edit the title of the thread.

Thank you, I'm new to this forum so I didn't know how to do it

It is entirely up to you how they are used. I typically use one for editing code and the other for running the code for testing. Suppose you have a several windows open. You can minimise windows to put them out of your way temporarily, but if you have several open, the taskbar or kicker can get crowded and confusing. M$ addresses this in a couple of ways, by allowing you just to display icons in the taskbar tabs and grouping the same application in to one tab. IMO grouping is really confusing; if grouped I can never find the window I want and I usually end up with many duplicate windows, especially of explorer. I actually never group under M$, just putting up with a full taskbar and thinking just how primative M$ windows is. (For example, can't keep windows on top without an add-on, still have to ctrl/c ctrl/p for copy and paste, rather than highlight and centre click like in Linux, etc.) When you enable multiple desktops, you get more workspaces just like the one you're see when you login. Rather than overcrowding one desktop with too many unrelated windows, distinctly different tasks can be put on different desktops, keeping things efficiently organised and instantly accessible. Most Linux windows managers allow multiple desktops, be it KDE, Gnome, IceWM (which I use), LXDE or whatever. Think of it as "super tabs".
